DISCUSSION
Would you have a
Facebook Page and/or
a LinkedIn Page for
this business?
Why?
Who are you selling to?
(B2C) Business
selling directly to
Consumers
(B2B) Business
selling to other
Business
Most consumers are
driven to purchase by
‘LOOKING GOOD &
HAVING FUN’
• Status
• Desire
• Price of a product
The sales team
understand that
buyers want to
establish a relationship
with their company
before they invest in
products or
services…. ‘PROVE IT
BABY’ … marketing
collateral such as
white papers,
webinars, press
releases, email, direct
mail is used to reach
out to, and educate
prospects.
B2C Consumers do not
put as much time into
the decision process
as with B2B
Consumers.
